Last month, I was able to attend the Martha Stewart event at the King of Prussia Williams-Sonoma.  First of all, can I say there were over 300 people waiting in line to meet the one and only Martha Stewart to get their cookbook signed.  It was craziness to say the least.  Creative Catering replicated some of the dishes for the eager crowd and, in my opinion, they did a phenomenal job.  Plus, Cupcakes Gourmet replicated the Coconut Cupcakes for everyone and those were delish!  As she settles for nothing less than perfect, you know the food just HAD to be good.

While we were waiting in the endless line, I took a few minutes to start leafing through her latest book, Martha Stewart’s Dinner at Home: 52 Quick Meals to Cook for Family and Friends,  and found that it would be PERFECT for the home cook.   The recipes were organized by seasons and full menus were put together.  Some of the standouts that have been bookmarked for later use are the Mexican Corn Cakes, Pancetta Cheeseburgers,  Fontina and Herb Flatbread and the Caramel Pudding.  The pictures draw you in and the recipes are so well laid out that if you just follow them to the letter, you won’t have one problem.   I felt it was worth every penny, in my opinion.

Now, I have to be honest – the Williams Sonoma people were AMAZING.  However, there were rules – no pictures, no personalization, nada – don’t even try it.  Somehow you just knew to expect that from Ms. Stewart.  I happened to be towards the end so I’m sure she was tired but we’re thankful she stopped by the Philly area.

Tomorrow:  I attempt my first Martha Stewart recipe ever – will I fail or can I actually pull it off.  Stay tuned…
